Question

Remember: When recording genotype, two letters are used, a capital letter (D) for the dominant trait and a lower case (d) letter for a recessive. By knowing the genotype of an organism, you can identify its phenotype, how it looks.

Determine what phenotypes would be possible: Bobtails in cats are recessive (t). Which of the genotypes would show the recessive trait?

a)TT
b)tt
c)Tt
d)Tt and tt

Answer 1

It’s D bc they both have the lowercase t

Answer 2

tt. i’m not fully sure but dominant traits usually always overpower recessive so i’m pretty sure in order for a recessive trait to show both parents need to give the recessive trait in order for it to show. i mean it’s in the words dominant and recessive
